EJECTOB FOR FIREARMS.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 25, 1916.

Application led November '7, 1913. Serial No. 799,649.

Aimportance in the case of automatic tirearnis and more especially inthe case of ries and machine-guns, in which the ejection takes placewith great force and the empty cartridge is thrown for a considerabledistance, whereby persons standing nearby may be seriously endangered.

According to my invention, I make the ejecting force controllable byarranging the ejector-hook in such a manner that it can give way againstthe action of a spring, as it is struck by an empty cartridge, so thatby the use of a correspondingly strong spring or by the adjustment ofthe Strength of the said spring, it is possible to so regulate `orcontrol the force of the blow of the bottom of the cartridge against theejector-hook that the empty cartridge is only ejected with the necessaryforce, and the ejection, in instances where the recoil happens to beStronger than usual, is not much more forcible, as the spring acting onthe ejector absorbs the surplus force.

A form of construction of my new ejector is shown by way of example onthe accompanying drawing.

The hook shaped ejector b is inserted 1n the breech casing d at a insuch a manner that the hook portion of the ejector b can give wayagainst the action of the spring c as the hook portion is struck by theempty cartridge. i

.If the spring c is weak, the ejector will give way to such aconsiderable extent that no ejectlon occurs. This is avoided if thetension of the spring c is increased or the spring replaced by astronger one, in which case the ejector approaches the action of a rigldejector or of one which is rigid at the moment of ejection, whereby, asis well known, the most forceful ejection is produced. One can vary theforce of the ejection to any desired degree by correspondingly choosingthe spring c or by adjusting its strength.

The scope of my invention is of course not limited to the illustratedconstruction, as the hook shape of the ejector is only one of the manyforms, it being only essential that the ejector can ive way against theaction of an exchangezigble or adjustable spring when struck by theempty cartridge.

I claim as my invention:

In combination with the breech-casing of {ire-arms an ejecting leverpivotally inserted in the breech-casing with its forward end and havingat its rear end a hook portion adapted to project into said breechcasing 'into the path of the empty cartridge, and

a spring acting on. said ejecting lever so as to normally force its hookportlon 1nto the breech casing.

In testimony whereof I afilx my slgnature.

RUDOLF FROMMER.
